Just before Christmas I was going to do some printing, so I spent time (and ink, too much ink) clearing the print nozzles until things looked just fine. Man, I thought my old 1280 was bad, but this is ridiculous. Better yet, consider dumping the printer for a 3880, R3000, etc. The easiest thing to do if the windex treatment doesn't work is to buy a flush kit from InkRepublic or another dealer. That's standard operating procedure for a R1800. This method has revived heads that would not unclog from several head cleanings in a row. The process of turning the printer off and on will waste a bit of ink but not nearly as much as a head cleaning. If necessary repeat this process a few times to remove the ink build up on the bottom of the heads. Be careful with it as it will be saturated with ink. Turn the printer back on and press the cartridge change button again. The print heads will be parked over the saturated kleenex/sponge. Turn the printer off with the on/off button and leave it for a few hours or over night if the clog is really bad. This is so that the head will not brush it off in the next step. Saturate the kleenex with the solution and press it down lightly onto the parking sponge so it is not too thick. Use the eye dropper to saturate the parking sponge with solution.Ĭut a strip of kleenex and fold it so it is about 4 to 6 layers thick and the same size as the parking sponge and put it over the parking sponge. Push the cartridge change button to get the heads off the parking sponge (not sure what else to call it).
At the risk of offending some on this forum I offer the following method to clear clogged heads without using hardly any ink.Ī solution of distilled water and Windex.
